Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor-Chapter 1115: Wuyan Palace Master

"Teacher, is it really you?!"

Until Yun Xiao was blasted to the ground by that force, Long Xiwawa finally sensed an extremely familiar presence within the power. She then looked up at the sky and exclaimed with joy.

"What? Teacher?"

Upon hearing Long Xiwawa's joyous shout, all the cultivators present gasped in surprise. People like Nie Xiaosheng naturally knew who that Wuyan Palace genius's teacher was.

"Could it really be Palace Master Wu Zhukong of Wuyan Palace?"

As the top genius of Shenxiao Sect, who might even take over as the next sect leader, Nie Xiaosheng was certainly familiar with the names of the superiors of top or first-class forces on the Tenglong Continent.

Wu Zhukong of Wuyan Palace was said to be the most favored disciple of the previous palace master. Before the age of thirty, he had forcefully broken through to the Earth Bending Realm, his talent surpassing even that of this generation's greatest genius, Long Xiwawa, by a few marks.

Wu Zhukong was even younger than the Xuanyin Hall Master or the Spirit Fighting Commerce President because the previous Wuyan Palace Master didn't die mysteriously but disappeared for years, forcing the elders of Wuyan Palace to push Wu Zhukong to the position of Palace Master.

Of course, these events happened many years ago. Nowadays, Palace Master Wu Zhukong of Wuyan Palace stands shoulder to shoulder with Xuanyin Hall Master, Meridian Refining Master Association President, and Spirit Fighting Commerce President. His prowess is undoubtedly in the top three on the entire Tenglong Continent.

However, many are aware that Wuyan Palace and Xuanyin Hall always maintain a covert antagonistic relationship. Although they never openly fought, the relationships between the high ranks and the young generations were never cordial, and the private rivalry had never ceased.

Here lies Extreme Yin City, the location of Xuanyin Hall's headquarters. Even from Nie Xiaosheng's intelligence, it seemed that Palace Master Wu Zhukong never stepped foot into Extreme Yin City?

No matter how fierce the young generations or lower-level cultivators might be, top figures like Palace Master Wu Zhukong or Xuanyin Hall Master remained restrained.

Because once experts at their level tear their masks off, it might trigger a life-and-death battle between them, and without absolute certainty, no one could afford such consequences.

Even if one side eventually wins, it's bound to be a pyrrhic victory that would only benefit other forces, which is not a good outcome for either Wuyan Palace or Xuanyin Hall.

But hearing Long Xiwawa's joyful cry, everyone was inclined to believe that Palace Master Wu Zhukong of Wuyan Palace had indeed arrived. If true, then today Extreme Yin City would surely be bustling with excitement.

Whoosh!

Following Long Xiwawa's shout, as everyone turned their gaze toward the sky, they saw a tall figure in a dark red robe appear there, who knows when.

Even from such a distance, everyone could sense the rich fire attribute aura faintly emanating from him.

"Indeed, it's Palace Master Wu Zhukong of Wuyan Palace!"

When seeing this person's appearance, Nie Xiaosheng had no doubts. Shenxiao Sect certainly had a portrait of Wu Zhukong, and this matched it perfectly. Clearly, a figure like Wu Zhukong wouldn't resort to disguise or transformation.

At this moment, almost everyone stopped paying attention to the supposedly 'slain' Yun Xiao. Instead, they speculated on the reason behind the sudden appearance of Wuyan Palace's Palace Master in Extreme Yin City.

Perhaps only talented individuals like Nie Xiaosheng and Su Jian, who participated in the Xuanyin Cave event, vaguely understood some reasons. After all, they were still extremely shocked by certain information disclosed by Yun Xiao upon exiting Xuanyin Cave.

"Tsk tsk, Yun Xiao is really unlucky!"

On the pavilion, Su Jian, who also recognized Wu Zhukong of Wuyan Palace, felt a sense of relief as that guy who once embarrassed him in Xuanyin Cave was finally dead.

Originally, after seeing the mouse-shaped Vein Demon that could contend with the Early Stage Earth Bending Realm expert Lie Shan, Su Jian thought his plan was about to fail.

This time, trying to steal the chicken only to lose the rice; not only did Long Xiwawa end up stuck here, but Yun Xiao also acquired the last fragment of Wuyan Cloth.

In such a situation, even with an Early Stage Earth Bending Realm expert beside him, Su Jian was hesitant to take action.

Who could have expected such a turnaround, where Palace Master Wu Zhukong arrived at this critical moment, not only saving Long Xiwawa's life but also blasting Yun Xiao to death?

Su Jian could vaguely guess why Wu Zhukong was here. It was likely due to the Heavenly Rank Strange Spirit message Yun Xiao brought out from Xuanyin Cave.

After all, the flying letter sent by Xuanyin Hall Master Xue Tianao via Lian Yuluo had mentioned that these talents had heard some things. Faced with the threat of the Heavenly Rank Strange Spirit, past grudges were temporarily set aside, even inviting Wu Zhukong.

In this regard, Yun Xiao truly shot himself in the foot!

If it weren't for the message he initially brought out, Xue Tianao wouldn't have invited Wu Zhukong to Extreme Yin City, and if Wu Zhukong hadn't come, wouldn't today's sweeping victory instead belong to Yun Xiao?

Thinking of these things, Su Jian's mood undoubtedly brightened a bit more. Wasn't that kid always boasting about his unmatched intelligence? But such a result was probably something he had never imagined, right?

Everyone stared blankly at the towering figure slowly descending from the sky, a hint of fervor in their eyes. This was someone so influential that a mere stomp of his foot could make the Hidden Dragon Continent tremble, and today, they unexpectedly got to see his real self in Extreme Yin City.

In fact, even Shenxiao Sect's top genius, Nie Xiaosheng, had never seen the Palace Master of Wuyan Palace in the flesh. Such a towering figure usually had no contact with top geniuses like them.

"Teacher!"

Long Xiwawa, who narrowly escaped death, transformed his expression from ecstatic joy to deep respect, yet this respectful voice elicited a cold snort from Wu Zhukong.

"Hmph, you couldn't even handle a kid at the Peak of Seeking Origin Realm, and almost lost your life in the process. You've brought disgrace to my Wuyan Palace!"

Wu Zhukong was somewhat exasperated at Long Xiwawa for failing to meet expectations. Part of the reason was Long Xiwawa's performance, and another part was perhaps his anger for needing a second strike to kill that rough-clad kid.

Originally, in Wu Zhukong's mind, he hadn't thought it necessary to make a second move against just a kid at the Peak of Seeking Origin Realm. For him, it was a tremendous loss of face.

Moreover, this was Extreme Yin City, the headquarters of the Xuanyin Hall. As the Palace Master of Wuyan Palace, he naturally felt some discomfort with the aura here. Despite "killing" Yun Xiao, he felt not the slightest excitement.

Whoosh!

While the teacher and disciple were talking, a fire-red light suddenly flew in from the top of a restaurant on one side of the street, none other than the Fire Cloud Rat Chi Yan.

"Squeak squeak!"

Chi Yan's aura was quite unstable, clearly drained from the earlier battle with Lie Shan of the Early Stage of Earth Bending Realm. But now, none of that mattered to him; the mouse's cry contained an intense sorrow.

Not bothering with Long Xiwawa and Wu Zhukong in the distance, Chi Yan swooped down from the restaurant, landing directly in front of the seemingly "slain" Yun Xiao. Seeing the "corpse" like a puddle of mud, tears fell from his eyes.

In Chi Yan's simple mind, ever since meeting Yun Xiao, he had treated this human companion as his only family. From their days on the Hidden Dragon Continent, they had relied on each other, and neither could leave the other behind.

Chi Yan could sense that the person over there was a Heavenly Rank Expert, so he clearly knew that his human brother was truly dead. Wasn't he once again left alone in this world?

"Lie Shan, at your service, Palace Master!"

While Chi Yan was grieving alone beside Yun Xiao, Lie Shan also leaped down from the restaurant. When he saw Wu Zhukong, he couldn't help but tremble, stepping forward excitedly to bow in greeting.

As a covert agent of Wuyan Palace in Extreme Yin City, Lie Shan hadn't returned to the Wuyan Palace headquarters for many years, and rarely saw the Palace Master. No wonder he was so excited.

"You're a waste too, unable to deal with a mere half-step Ninth Rank Vein Demon!"

Frustrated, Wu Zhukong's harsh words flew out, making Lie Shan's face change colors, though he dared not retort, leaving him utterly aggrieved.

Indeed, it was just a half-step Ninth Rank Vein Demon, seemingly only the size of an adult's palm, yet its combat power had left Lie Shan deeply shocked.

Lie Shan had reason to believe if that Vein Demon really broke into the Ninth Rank low-level, he probably couldn't even withstand ten moves. However, explaining such things was troublesome, and he dared not over-explain to the Palace Master of Wuyan Palace.

"Eh?"

Just then, Wu Zhukong's gaze suddenly sharpened, shifting to the mouse-shaped Vein Demon, emitting a sound of surprise. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Crash!

For at that moment, Yun Xiao's "corpse", seemingly already beaten to death, unexpectedly moved slightly. This made Wu Zhukong ponder and startled Chi Yan, mourning beside Yun Xiao's "corpse".

Crash! Crash! Crash!

With Wu Zhukong's exclamation, whether it was Long Xiwawa, Duan Wuya, Lie Shan by his side, or Nie Xiaosheng and Su Jian watching from afar, they all finally noticed the abnormal movement on Yun Xiao's "corpse", stunned into speechlessness.

"He... didn't die?"
